Palmer is in position to be the team's leader in targets this season, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This isn't a shocking statement by Popper, but it underscores the relationship that Palmer and Justin Herbert have compared to the collection of newcomers on the roster. Rookie second-round pick Ladd McConkey profiles as the wideout most likely to challenge Palmer for a plethora of targets, but the fourth-year wideout has been Herbert's fourth-most targeted wideout in his young career, a stat that matters significantly given the Pro Bowl quarterback missed critical time in training camp due to a foot injury.
